Nikos Stage World Premiers
Three young playwrights. Three world premiers. That’s what Williamstown Theatre Festival (WTF) offers this summer at the Nikos Stage – the smaller of its two venues. These last plays of the season have little else in common. However, to be selected by WTF for full-stage productions indicates that each passed critical muster.
“Broke-ology,” a drama written by Nathan Louis Jackson,” focuses on the hardships, survival, care, honor, and loyalty to family. At the same time, choices must be made by each. (July 9-20)
Theresa Rebeck’s “The Understudy” offers a bitingly witty story of the lights of Broadway. But lights are often dim on the most notorious roles in theatre – the understudy. (July 23-August 3)
“Not Waving,” by Ellen Melaver, is set on a beach with a troubled history. Yet the tides repeatedly turn to ultimately reveal a heartwarming play about the universal need to be loved. (August 6-17)
